Ayushmann Khurrana was doubtful about Ananya Panday in Dream Girl 2? Here’s why

Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Dream Girl 2 is just around the corner to be released. The actor is coming back with a sequel to the 2019 comedy-drama film Dream Girl. Speaking of which, Ayushamnn had shared the screen with Nushrratt Bharuccha in Dream Girl. Now, in the sequel, he is sharing the screen with Ananya Panday.

There is no doubt in the fact that Dream Girl received well-deserved appreciation from the audience, and now, the hype is real for the upcoming sequel.

Ayushmann Khurrana reveals he was unsure of Ananya Panday for Dream Girl 2

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Ayushmann said, “I was always thinking that she’s an urban girl, and how she’d get accustomed to the milieu of Mathura, a city from tier-2 India. But she adapted really well. Every 10 km, the accent changes in our country. But she was bang on with the accent.”

Further, he also said, “If you’re a Bombay girl, it’s tough to catch those accents. Main toh phir bhi Hindi bolta hu, Hindi mein sochta hu toh mujhse phir bhi ho jata hai (I manage to do it because I speak in Hindi, think in Hindi). But she’s done a great job in the film. And we’ve seen that in the past also, Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019). UP ki ek film kar chuki hai (She’s already done a film set in Uttar Pradesh).”

Well, that was quite a revelation!
